New merged forums!!!

We're still in the process of tweaking things as we bring in all of the old posts from the AO side. Please PM me if you notice any problems with your access level.

There are some known issues that I'll list here as I find them...

** The old smilies from the AO side don't show up well on the new darker forums (they will be removed as options when we can get to it, but may still show up in old posts)
** Some ranks were removed from users as part of the transfer (I'll be updating these later, i.e. - GSP Crew, Dancers, etc.), and we reserve the right to come up with some new rank titles for some of you later (*evil grin*)
** The "number of posts" ranks need to be changed so they aren't so TSW themed and are more generic. We'll be working on this.
** There wasn't a good way to merge the old AO news updates without it being a mess, so those will remain archived in a locked away forum for awhile

I encourage you all to check out your avatar images and banners to see how they look on the darker theme and consider an update if needed. We're sorry for the inconvenience, but most of us much prefer the darker themed forums. These will be staying awhile. ;)

If you had a username on the AO forums that is identical to the TSW forums, then yours posts should have merged successfully.

Please post if you notice any other issues or have any questions!

Thanks for your patience while we undergo these big changes! :)

- Ash

For anyone that really has issues with the white text on dark grey background there is still the option of going back to a generic, ugly theme. :) You can do so by going to User Control Panel - Board preferences - My board style and pick Prosilver or Prosilver2. They are quite similar to the old forums.

I think I've done about as much as I can do today. I'm brain dead. I'll pick up where I left off tomorrow. :)

Waaah! Wwaaaaaahhh!

*runs around wild all over the forum*

Okay ::panting:: just this one thread. The forum is too large to run over now.

*falls down*

And I'm spent.

*goes off to find her psychobilly persona*


((And the merged forum is working great for me so far! Except for those pesky [known issue] smileys.))

I keep going to check the AO side forums and realizing they're not there, they're here. Earlier I sent Jez a PM and I've gone to check for a response now a few times before realizing it will come here.

I'm such a creature of habit. :)

One OCDish thing that annoys me though is http://forums.gridstream.org/forums/
I wish this would just be http://forums.gridstream.org/
It's relatively easily fixed, but I bet something like that is way down's Xtrophic's list of priorities right now! :)
